Chapter 285 Love, Affection, What a Fool!

"Hey! Get up! These are your things and clothes, you can leave now!"

An outer robe was placed on the table.

It took An Yan a long time to come to her senses and get dressed.

As An Yan stepped out of the small, dark room, she looked back.

The tiny room smelled terrible because of the excrement from the past few days.

He spent several years in that kind of environment.

No, it shouldn't have taken that long.

An Yan withdrew her gaze, her eyes still somewhat dazed.

Hearing the man next to him say, "By the way, two of your men have gone insane. You should take them back and get them checked out. Don't bring these kinds of sick people out next time; they're weird and scary!"

As he spoke, he gave An Yan a strange look.

Not long after, all his men were brought over.

"Hey, isn't this grandpa? Grandpa, let's play together, he'll definitely find it exciting, right?"

"Hahaha, I didn't do anything wrong! I just wanted to have sex with Su Shi. She's a slut who's available to everyone. She gets itchy if she doesn't have a man for a day!"

An Yan's expression changed, and she instantly grabbed the man's neck.

"You're asking for it!"

Qin the Big Guy separated the two of them, saying, "If you want to settle your family matters, go home and settle them there. Don't kill someone on our turf, or you'll blame us later."

Although he didn't know why Boss Lin let the big fish escape, he just did as he was told.

An Yan released the person and went outside, then immediately gave instructions.

"Throw these two into the river to feed the fish!"

More than one person went mad; the other one seemed to have gone insane.

The others looked at each other, seemingly also a bit confused.

An Yan swiftly swung his knife and sent the two men into the river to feed the fish.

Only then did they begin to inquire about the specific circumstances of other people.

"We were all locked in one room. At first, everything was fine, but then some people started talking nonsense. Sir, do you think we were drugged?"

One of his confidants spoke up.

He didn't say everything he had to say, which was while he was locked up in that dark room.

He said everything that could and couldn't be said.

An Yan frowned. "They didn't drug us, or at least there's no such drug at all. If they had, we wouldn't be alive now. This must be a psychological tactic!"

"I really underestimated this bastard!"

If he hadn't been mentally stable, being locked up like that would have driven him insane, if not dead, within days.

After returning by boat, An Yan looked disheveled and haggard, and came to the backyard without even changing her clothes.

His family must be extremely worried about him being away from home for so long.

As soon as I stepped into the backyard.

A cup of tea was thrown directly at his face.

An Yan's mind was in a daze, and before she could dodge, she was hit directly on the head.

Snap!

The final, resounding slap landed on An Yan's face.

"Where have you been? An Yan, where the hell have you been?!"

"Why did it take you so long to come back? Did you put that bastard into the ancestral hall? Did that bitch also get placed on your An family's memorial tablet?"

"Do you know my father is dead?! Do you even know?!"

Su Yan'er grabbed An Yan's clothes like a madwoman, screaming and questioning him repeatedly.

She's been all alone these past few days, and she's going crazy!

Her father is dead! Lin Anyuan is not dead!

An Yan swayed and almost fell to the ground.

An Yan's head was buzzing and throbbing from not eating or sleeping well, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

"Yan'er, I was locked up after I got there. I don't know anything. What's the situation outside? What did you just say? What happened to your father?"

Su Yan'er roared, "You're lying! How could you not know anything? My father is dead! Killed by that bastard! Are you satisfied now!"

Not only her father, but that bastard child also seized all of the Su family's assets.

A small sandalwood box belonging to Yan'er fell from An Yan's arms.

It opened suddenly, and a tiny pill rolled out.

"You... Oh no, how did you break this thing!"

An Yan felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her head and instinctively reached for the pills.

As a result, Su Yan'er thought he was going to leave, so she pulled him back.

"You're not allowed to go anywhere. You have to give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll die right now!"

"What antidote? Has anyone been poisoned?"

As soon as Yang entered the room, her embroidered shoes landed right on the pills.

An Yan felt her vision blurring.

"Mother, quickly lift your foot! That invisible incense can kill someone!"

"An Yan, you said—"

An Yan raised her hand and slapped Su Yan'er across the face.

"You stupid woman! You killed my mother!"

...

...

Tao family.

When David Tao came in, he saw Ke Xinrui packing her things, looking like she was about to go on a long trip.

He immediately put on a smiling face, "Xinrui, are you going out to offer incense? I'm free today, I'll go with you!"

Ke Xinrui froze, without even raising her head. "No need. What would it be like for the head of the family to accompany a stupid woman like me? I have Zhu'er to go with me."

David Tao's smile remained unchanged as he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.

“What happened before was my fault. I was forced into this situation. It was all my parents’ wish. They wanted a grandson. You know me. In my heart, there has only ever been you.”

Ke Xinrui sneered, "It was your parents' idea that you slept with that slut and gave birth to a worthless child? Then you, the head of the Tao family, are truly a joke!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Tao Zhe's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Ke Xinrui pushed him away.

"David Tao, do you think I'm a fool?!"

Ke Xinrui's tears streamed down her face instantly.

"Didn't you want to force me to admit that bastard is the legitimate son? You want to recognize the legitimate son? Go ahead and do it. I'll make room for you. You can have whatever you want."

Ke Xinrui was furious. For so many years, she had devoted herself to this man, even breaking with her family and betraying her own parents for him.

As a result, she injured her body during the birth of Zhu'er and could no longer have children.

This man actually kept a mistress and had an illegitimate child outside of his marriage.

It made her feel that all her sincere feelings had become a joke.

Seeing Ke Xinrui's tears, Tao Zhe's expression turned serious, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Xinrui, I was wrong. Hit me, scold me, it's all my fault!"

"I'm sorry, I've let you down. Please forgive me this time!"

It's said that a man's knees are worth gold, so he needs to show sincerity.

"Get up, David Tao. I've finally seen how ruthless you can be. I'm not stupid. You've never loved me at all. You were just using me!"

Just then, a petite woman dressed in pink ran in and knelt down in front of Ke Xinrui.
